<p>Now, one person in Belfast has resorted to selling spare forms on <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Irish-Passport-Forms-/262519674665" target="_blank">eBay</a> for &pound;25. The seller says they are &quot;like gold dust at the moment&quot;.</p>

<p>User on reddit have reported the item to ebay for being a prohibited and restricted item as well as complaining to the Dept of Foreign Affairs.</p>
